Least worst

Apologies for the long absence.

TMP really does not know what to say when faced with the unremitting awfulness of Ed Milliband, the endless stupidity of Nick Clegg and the apparent abandonment of his once-faithful flock by David Cameron.

Thanks to the tireless efforts of archive, search and privacy invasion technology, the sanctimonious media has conspired to make old-fashioned leadership impossible. The net result of which is that it seems we are indeed being lead by a gang of witless pygmies. Quite how Boris has escaped this process of "mediaocritisation" is a mystery, but does give encouragement to the notion that some characters can still assert themselves in spite of everything.
 

God Help us, only Nigel Farage appears to have a grasp of what the punters want - and even draws support from the Labour and Tory parties - so maybe we should allow his wackier supporters some latitude and time to settle into the possibility that they could be holding the balance after the 2015 election.

The BBC-Guardian will be suffering ever more frequent attacks of the vapours as the progress of UKIP continues, and the reaction of the assorted massed bands of the usual fluffies that have ruled UK politics since the 60s, will be is one of the few things we have to look forward to as the people find they have a voice for the time in a long time.

Interesting times.

Lest we forget who got us where we are today

Well, TMP has to agree with Janet Daley as usual.

"The great irony of the mess we are now in is that this concept of a totally rational, perfect society which must be imposed on actual people, each with his own distinct experience and perception of life, was the same delusion that wreaked havoc in Europe for generations. From one Terror to another, Robespierre to Stalin, the enforced experiments ran their course. And virtually every one required the “temporary” expunging of democracy."

Now that the EU has been proved beyond all doubt to be a shambolic combination of towering political hubris and naive economic denial, this Big Issue is how to replace ALL the present political ruling classes in the UK and EU with something that is rather more reactive to the will of the people?.

At today's Cenotaph ceremony, not one elected front line politician on view had served in any one of the armed forces. How do those who lost relatives and limbs feel about this "parade" of twats going through the motions, I wonder?

It seems that be successful in politics today, you have to start the brown-nosing at a very early age that precludes the opportunity to attain any degree of experience of the real world. None of our leaders have ever had any experience of running any sort of "real world" enterprise either. Surely to God we are going to wake up and realise that it is supreme folly to keep on handing the nation over to this sorry lot to fuck up as they invariably manage to do?
